Collins v. Century Services, Inc. et al. (2004)

Recovery: $950,000.00

A tractor trailer owned by Century Services ran Ms. Collins off of a 4 lane road. When her vehicle left the road, she traveled approximately 60 feet through the air and down an embankment, eventually landing at the edge of a shallow creek. There was no contact between the tractor trailer and our client’s vehicle. As a result of the crash, she suffered a brain injury, a severe scalp avulsion, and a compound femur fracture with a resulting leg length discrepancy. The case was strongly defended on liability and contributory negligence. There was extensive discovery of both fact and expert witnesses. By obtaining the driver’s trip receipts and daily log entries, we were able to show that the driver had a habit of violating the Hours of Service regulations, and that he was out of hours at the time of the crash.
